Toying with v8

mightyv8

Reminder

There are four main stages that code inside V8 passes through :

  • JavaScript Code - this is what you wrote
  • Hydrogen - intermediate code representation where optimizations are applied
  • Lithium - machine specific code used to generate native code
  • Machine Code - this is what the computer understands

Resources

Setup

  • Follow the Medium article
  • Instead of manually compile the engine, use jsvu
  • Do NOT select "QuickJS" engine, it's integration is currently broken (7 January 2020)
  • I only selected v8-debug (non-debug version doesn't seem to support --print-bytecode and some fun stuff like this)
  • Assuming you dutifully followed the jsvu README, you've updated your $PATH already. Now you can just:
  • v8-debug --print-bytecode myFile.js
  • It will display in standard output (console): from there you can cat (concatenate) into a file or whatever

Available flags

  • Gist (may be outdated)
  • $ v8-debug --help (won't be outdated)

Todo

  • User-friendly way to display the aforementioned steps (some frontend)
